AI driven Subject Line – Understand the subject line score and change if required.
Sections – Customize different section blocks of your newsletter.

1. Sender Details

When you create your AidaJet account, the system automatically generates a sender email address using your information. By default, this address is set to the jetnewsletters.com domain.

Note: If you are on the Pro or Growth plan, you can use your own custom domain.

2. AI Subject Line:

The Subject Line is one of the most important elements of your newsletter. AidaJet AI automatically generates a subject line designed to maximize engagement.

If required, make changes to improve clarity, tone, or relevance.

Tips for Writing Effective Subject Lines

Keep it short and clear – Aim for 6–10 words for better readability across devices.
Use action-oriented language – Words like Discover, Learn, or Don’t miss grab attention.
Personalize when possible – Adding a name or context increases engagement.
Avoid spam triggers – Steer clear of excessive punctuation, ALL CAPS, or spammy terms like Free or Guaranteed.
Create curiosity – Use intriguing phrasing to encourage opens without misleading readers.

Understanding Your Subject Line Score:

Click on the Score button.
The Subject Line Score Card will appear.
Review the following metrics:
- Overall Score – AidaJet’s evaluation of how effective your subject line is.
- Reading Grade Level – Indicates how easy your subject line is to understand.
